Setup
(A), (B) and (C) must stay at their station, which is a point on a triangle with 2-3m sides (the tighter, the easier to defend)
Step 1
(A), (B) and (C) pass amongst one another, while (D) works hard to pressure the passer

Use a fake pass or look-away pass to get the defender to commit to one direction

(D) must have good energy and anticipation to intercept before they get tired

(A / B / C) can also employ bounce passes to avoid (D)'s arms
Step 2
(D) works until they intercept, or for 30 seconds.

If you see (D) is highly fatigued, replace them
Step 3
You may prefer to start with a larger triangle, then shorten the sides as a progression after everyone's had a turn.
